Desktops 1.0

(August 21, 2008)

Windows Vista/XP / Freeware / 950 downloads

Desktops allows you to organize your applications on up to four virtual desktops. Read email on one, browse the web on the second, and do work in your productivity software on the third, without the clutter of the windows youâ??re not using. After you configure hotkeys for switching desktops, you can create and switch desktops either by clicking on the tray icon to open a desktop preview and switching window, or by using the hotkeys

    I think the winxp power toy - virtual desktop
    manager is better.

    Of course Dexpot and WinSpace are much better.

    This a sweeet app!!!

    One problem though ... I have my task bar at double height and the "available screen size" calculation gets thrown off!!!
    Once Windows starts, a "maximize window" resizes the window as if the taskbar was at 'single' height'.
    If I "Unlock Taskbar", all the maximized windows recalculate the area correctly and then are resized properly!
    A bit annoying, otherwise really sweeet!!!

    Pros:
    1. Works under Vista (DeskHedron only supports 2000/XP)

    Cons:
    1. Once loaded there is no exit function
    2. Cannot select Windows key as a hotkey in Vista - it clashes with application shortcuts stored in QuickLaunch (press Windows key and a number will launch the corresponding application on QuickLaunch in Vista)
    3. Vista doesn't recognize it as a legitimate application and requests permission to launch.

    Nice. I also like how they did the preview. NOT better than VirtuaWin though. ;)

    Also, not 62 KB, more like 117 KB. DeskHedron is only 340 KB and supports up to 9 desktops. Oh, and graphically, it puts this to shame.
